Rachelle Belott Filipiak, LPC

Rachelle Belott Filipiak is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Wisconsin with five years of clinical experience. She holds a master’s degree in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from the University of Wisconsin–Stout. Rachelle works with adults facing stress, anxiety, relationship and family concerns, trauma and abuse, depression, addictions, grief, and codependency-related patterns.

Her background includes work in a domestic violence shelter for women, a college counseling center, a medium-security correctional facility for men, and outpatient mental health settings. That range of settings shaped how she responds to strong emotions and difficult situations in straightforward, practical ways.

Rachelle blends several evidence-informed approaches to match what a person needs in the moment. She uses attachment-based ideas to look at how past connections influence current relationships. She also draws on cognitive behavioral tools to help people change the thoughts and behaviors that keep them stuck.

Sessions tend to focus on identifying the problems that cause the most distress, learning small skills to manage those problems, and practicing new ways of relating to others. She emphasizes skill-building so people gain confidence handling stress, setting boundaries, and reducing people-pleasing patterns often seen in codependency.

Her work is practical and interpersonal. Rachelle aims to help people notice patterns, try different responses, and build skills that let them rely less on therapy over time.
